So sales have doubled, but the abortion numbers are basically the same.

Proving once again that contraception does not lower abortion rates.

And this is an interesting tidbit:

The figures don’t surprise gynaecologist Christine Felding, who adds that more young women than before are getting abortions and that parents need to take more responsibility.

“Young girls are losing their virginity earlier and earlier and therefore need advice from someone they care about, but unfortunately, parents often turn a blind eye,” Felding said.

Felding contends that a lack of parental guidance leads to young women automatically choosing the birth control pill, even though they would be better served with a form of long-term contraception, like a hormone spiral.

Remember when being responsible meant going on the Pill?
